Buttock Augmentation with Fat Transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift)

Contouring the buttocks has fast become a hugely popular procedure in my practice.  We enjoy doing this procedure because we see amazing results.  It is true that this is an ethnically driven procedure.  In another words, certain ethnicities, such as Latina and African American women, enjoy this transformation perhaps more than others.  Regardless, it is very popular.
This procedure is done by removing fat from certain areas and then transferred to the buttocks.  This is not random by any means.  A patient's own fat is the best option to do this because there is no rejection problems.  The fat is transferred artistically with the vision to augment areas that will enhance the appearance of the buttocks without looking like there was something done to it.  This takes an appreciation of the normal aesthetics of the buttocks, not unlike a sculptor.
The best part of this procedure is that the patients will get liposuction of other areas of the body.  This is also done artistically to contour the body so that the buttock becomes the focus of attention.  This is one of the most desirable aspect of the procedure.
When a patient comes for a consult, it is my job to help them understand all the nuances of the procedure.  I make sure that they are good candidates for this procedure so that the outcome is nothing short of artwork.
